Multiple Steppers Connected to One Shield

I am using a an Adafruit shield with two bipolar NEMA 17 steppers.  I just want to see if the motors would be read in fine and I was using the example in the Arduino Toolkit but I can only get one motor to work.  I am not even trying to run them simultaneously.  I only want them to run one after the other finishes however it is becoming more hectic than I would imagine.  Does anyone have an idea of what I could possibly doing wrong.

You may want to try the "Adafruit Motor Shield Stepper Driver" example located in Documents.  It will work with either one or two stepper motors, the motors do not run simultaneously and the example does not use LIFA.
